Travel in Switzerland: Geneva airport launches more Christmas flights
An increased number of flights will link the Swiss city with dozens of international destinations.
Starting on December 19th, the timetable from Geneva’s Cointrin airport will be expanded to include 70 cities.
Most flights will be operated by EasyJet and SWISS.
The flagship airline will jet to 15 cities, including two new destinations — Marrakech in Morocco and Hurghada in Egypt.
EasyJet will fly to 40 cities in Europe. It will ensure nonstop flights to Spain, Portugal, France, and Greece, among other popular destinations.
It will also be possible to fly again to many regions of central and eastern Europe, where flights were discontinued or sharply reduced during the pandemic.
They include Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, and Kosovo.
Before you book a flight, however, be aware of most recent regulations and restrictions that are in effect at your destination.

Some countries require you to be tested for Covid-19 prior to arrival and present a negative result. Others have a compulsory quarantine.
Switzerland also requires arrivals from certain countries to self-quarantine for 10 days.
Whether on arrival or return, quarantine means you won’t be able to go out or receive guests during the time mandated by the government — usually between 10 and 14 days.
